The website is trying to present basic literacy skills, informations about cultures, through presentations of kids, their lives, communities, stories. The website is really good in delivering those information and skills. However there are some notes that cam make this application much better. What is really good about this website is the use of the graphics, friendly human feedback, interactivity, simple and clear information presentation. As for what is not designed well is the the existence of some dead interactive cues will cause a cognitive overload while providing no benefit, lack of controls while video playing, limited interactivity, poorly designed sign-up tool. The website focus more in the use of question posing, identifying objects and events , note-taking, filtering information, record keeping, scanning for clues.
The the movies are well-produced, the environment were they are presented is not interactive enough. The page lacks certain controls that make the user have control over the presentation of the video while it's playing. Also, controls needed to end the activity before completing it and going back to the previous page not the main page. Though the videos presents a lot of important informations, the questions are not that deep and shed light on those important cues. The game is simply based on recognition skills only. The answer for the questions mostly needs to listen to the video again and identify and click when the answer appear. The rewarding system is based on vocal praise only, it might be better if at least they get scores or indications of their advancement throughout the experience.
